These instructions can also be adapted to work on GCE or other cloud infrastructure.

The following video shows the process: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/e4Vp3quzlhM

Stackscripts

You can use public Stackscripts to quickly setup your DRP endpoint and attach nodes. They perform the same basic tasks as the code below.

  1. Create an endpoint using zehicle/drp and supply your version and password.
  2. Verify that the DRP Endpoint is available at the https://[endpoint_ip]:8092
  3. Use zehicle/drp-node to attach nodes to the endpoint. You'll need to know the endpoint_ip.
  4. profit.

Install DRP in Linode

You can use the Centos-8 Linux image. While more is recommended, make sure that you have at least 1 GB of RAM. You should open ports 8090/tcp, 8091/tcp, and 8092/tcp to access the DRP server.

Example

#!/bin/bash
DRP_VERSION=stable
DRP_PASSWORD=r0cketsk8ts
DRP_PUBLIC_ADDRESS=<DRP public address>

### Now open the right firewall ports for DRP
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8090/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8091/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8092/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

### Install DRP
curl -fsSL get.rebar.digital/tip | bash -s -- install --universal --version=$DRP_VERSION --drp-password=$DRP_PASSWORD --ipaddr=$DRP_PUBLIC_ADDRESS

Warning

Remember to fill in the public IP address of the system

Once the system is online, you can access DRP using https://\<DRP public address>:8092.

Join a machine to a DRP Endpoint in Linode

Once you have a DRP endpoint installed in Linode, you can create additional linode instances and join them to the DRP endpoint.

Bash script to run on linode instance

#!/bin/bash
DRP_IP=[Public IP of DRP Endpoint]
DRP_PORT=8091 # The fileserver port of the DRP endpoint
OPEN_PORTS="22"  # ports to allow in

for PORT in ${OPEN_PORTS}; do
    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=${PORT}/tcp
done    
firewall-cmd --reload

timeout 300 bash -c 'while [[ "$(curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} ${DRP_IP}:${DRP_PORT}/machines/join-up.sh)" != "200" ]]; do sleep 5; done' || false

curl -fsSL http://${DRP_IP}:${DRP_PORT}/machines/join-up.sh | sudo bash --
